9 Things Plumbers Don't Want You to Know About WD-40 (#4 Saves $200)
Before you call a plumber for another stuck valve, make sure you know what's already sitting in your garage! In this video, we break down 9 things WD-40 can actually do for your home's plumbing, based on how it works, real-world service costs, and the exact calls it can save you from ever having to make.
WD-40 handles far more than a squeaky hinge. From freeing a rusted main shutoff valve and a stubborn P-trap slip-nut to reviving a rusted-shut angle stop under your sink — a fix that can save you upwards of $200 on an emergency plumbing call — we break down exactly how it works, why it's effective, and the simple technique for each job so you're not left guessing.
We'll also cover the three rules that separate a smart fix from a genuine plumbing emergency, including why you should always shut off the water first and never force a stem past firm resistance.
Whether a shutoff valve won't turn or a diverter's seized solid, this video gives you the inside scoop on the cheap fixes the pros quietly charge a fortune for.
